Ragged Wings

Posted by lisaonthebeach on

I am amazed how life can beat a creature up, and yet, he carries on.

Ragged but not defeated.

🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

There is such a love, a love that creates value in what is loved. There is a love that turns rag dolls into priceless treasures. There is a love that fastens itself onto ragged little creatures, for reasons that no one could ever quite figure out, and makes them precious and valued beyond calculation. This is love beyond reason. This is the love of God.

    What a great illustration of not giving up and “sticking with it”. Wonderful quote, as well.

    I can’t argue with that. They are magical creatures, Lisa.
